AirLink MP595 / MP595W Modem User Guide

·1900 MHz (PCS)

·800 MHz (Cellular)

You can use a dual‐band antenna that supports both fre‐ quencies. If your MP modem will only be connected to net‐ works that use one of the bands, an appropriate single‐ band antenna is sufficient. Contact your service provider for information about radio bands used in your area.

Access point antenna. The 2.4 GHz AP antenna connects to the AP antenna connector on the rear of the MP modem.

For more information about antennas for your installation contact your account manager.

GPS antenna

The GPS antenna connects to the MP modem using a male SMA connector. Contact your account manager for more infor‐ mation about compatible GPS antennas.

AP antenna (MP 595W only)

The AP antenna must be installed by an RF professional. The AP antenna connects to the MP modem using a male SMA connector.

Antenna locations

When selecting locations for the Main RF, GPS, and AP antennas:

Refer to the documentation provided with each antenna to determine whether it requires a ground plane.

Ensure that the Main RF antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (8 inches) from vehicle occupants and bystanders.

Ensure that all radio antennas (Main RF, GPS, CB radio, car radio) are mounted at least 20 cm or more apart (30 cm recommended).

If you are using receive diversity, connect an additional RF antenna to the diversity antenna connector (SMA) on the back of the MP 595 modem. Ensure that the two RF antennas are 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 inches) apart.

(MP 595W only) Ensure that the AP antenna is mounted at least 20 cm from the Main RF antenna.
